Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC release countdown

As mentioned, the DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be released in two parts, with The Teal Mask being the first instalment of the expansion. Fortunately for Pokemon fans, the wait is nearly over for part one. Depending on where in the world you're situated, the Teal Mask will be available on either September 12 or 13, 2023.

For US gamers, the expansion will be available on September 12 at 6 PM PT, however, for those in the UK, you can expect to be able to play it from 2 AM on September 13. So unless you're very eager and don't have any work/adult responsibilities to attend to, you may need to wait until the next morning to get the story underway.

The release date for the Indigo Mask is still shrouded in mystery, however, it is anticipated that it will come with the change of the season. The Teal Mask was slated for a Fall 2023 release, followed by Indigo Mask for a Winter 2023 release.

By this logic, we can anticipate that more information will arise about the release date very soon, and the expansion will be in our hands in the next few months. Nonetheless, keep an eye on us here as we will update you when more information becomes available!
